Do you know the technique of coital alignment? Behind this, what may first sound like a barbaric name, hides a very simple but ideal sexual position to reach orgasm: The Cat sex position.

And according to specialists, this alluring position will help you reach a heaven of sensuality, as most women would achieve orgasm thanks to it. According to the Huffington Post website, a study published by the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, 56% of women who fail to cum with missionary can do so with the coital alignment technique (or CAT).

While the missionary allows predominantly vaginal stimulation, CAT promotes mixed stimulation, i.e. vaginal and clitoral. 

It is precisely the angle formed by the two bodies that allow for this, contributing to regular and perfect friction on the clitoris.

The sex position of the coital alignment technique is ideal if you like clitoral stimulation. To accomplish this with your man, you must lie on your back with your legs open while your man is on top of you, as in the usual missionary position. 

However, in the CAT position, instead of pushing deep in and out, your man needs to push his body forward over your body. 

This will change the angle of the introduction of your man’s penis. It will now be facing down and will be more in contact with the back wall of your vagina (in front of your G-spot). When you’re in this position, their pubic bone (and sometimes the lower part of their penis) will more easily come into contact with your clitoris.

Who can do it?

Because this position uses both clitoral stimulation and penetration, it is often recognized as a technique for sex between the penis and the vagina. 

But that shouldn’t stop you from practicing the technique if you want to give it a try.

Coital alignment can just as well be practiced and enhanced with the use of a dildo and strap-on for penetration between two partners with vaginas.

How to have an orgasm with the coital alignment technique? 

Don’t panic; this position is super-easy to achieve. 

Start with a classic missionary position. To accentuate your sensations, do not hesitate to place a pillow under your pelvis. This will make it go up effortlessly and give your body a better angle. Then, your partner should step forward on the body so that their shoulders are level with your head. 

Thus, the bones of her pelvis and her pubis will rub your clitoris directly. 

Perfect stimulation, throughout your lovemaking, without the fuss. It is up to the man to choose movements that can promote contact between his skin and your clitoris, and you can use conversation along the way to direct his actions to your likings.

Elements to consider when performing the sexual position of the CAT sex position:

– The coital alignment technique can do you good, but often your man doesn’t get much from it. 

– If you prefer clitoral stimulation during sex, you’ll love the CAT sex position because your man will be in constant contact with your clitoris.

– If your man has a very short penis, he may have a hard time performing the coital alignment technique properly without constantly slipping.

– You may find the CAT frustrating and not get anything out of it initially, but before giving up, play with slightly different positions to see if they are more enjoyable for you. For example, try to put a pillow or cushion under your hips. Try to get your man to arch his back. Try to swing in a more circular motion instead of just going up and down. Just experiment with one another until you find that sweet spot or until you choose to move to other positions. 

Can you reverse it? 

You certainly can! This is often referred to as the Reverse Coital Alignment Technique.

Here the person receiving the penetration is on top. However, instead of moving their body higher than their partner’s, the upper partner should move their body a few inches lower. 

This allows the penis or dildo to stimulate the clitoris better. 

Remember: CAT sex position is less about moving in and out and more about genital-to-genital contact. 

Think of the Reverse CAT as a more intimate form of cuddling.

Is there anything else you can do to level up? 

Yes, of course. Experiment with the toys and stuff in your toolbox until you find what works best for you. 

Here are some ideas to get you started.

Invest in a sex pillow. 

Unlike your regular bed pillow, a sex pillow is more like a supportive wedge that hugs the curves of the partner’s back and tilts their hips at the right angle. 

Explore the erogenous zones. 

Run your hands through your partner’s hair or scalp. Gently nibble their ears. Lightly trace your fingertips along the inside of their arm. 

Or, have them try these moves on you!

These subtle tingling sensations can cause genital stimulation and lead to a more intense orgasm.

Play with a new toy. 

If you’re using a dildo, consider swapping it out for a vibrating wand. Other beginner toys like butt plugs, nipple clamps, and feather tickles can add even more stimulation.

The coital alignment technique may take a bit of practice before you find the perfect placement, but the journey is half the fun!
